Return Values
- 1, if Uniface is printing.
- 0, if Uniface is not printing.
Use
Allowed in Form, Report, and Service components, but not in self-contained Services.
Description
The $printing function allows you to test whether Uniface is printing the current component. This can be particularly useful in the getFocus trigger. For example, you may want to use a form both for report purposes and for interactive data entry or administration. The code you would use during a print process is probably very different from the code you would use for an interactive session.
Checking Print Status
The following example shows how to display a message informing the user which page is currently being printed:
; check print status with $printing if ($printing = 1) message "Printing %%$page%%%" endif
